USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Reheating tips
Cooked food and leftovers can be
reheated quickly and efficiently without
spoiling their freshness and taste.
Always place the dense food at the outer
edges and the more porous food towards
the center.
To keep food moist during reheating,
cover the food with a microwave-safe lid or
plastic wrap. Covering the food keeps heat
in the food, speeds heating, and prevents
spatters.
Wrap sandwiches and rolls loosely in pa-
per towels to absorb moisture and prevent
sogginess.
Spread food in a shallow dish if possible.
Stir and turn food as needed.
Always underestimate reheating time until
you are used to the microwave oven.
Using DEFROST
DEFROST lets you defrost one of three dif-
ferent types of food, without needing to set
defrosting times or cook powers. To use
DEFROST, follow the steps below:
1. Touch
1 to 3 times, to
select the food
setting.
2. Touch Number pads to enter the
weight.
NOTE: See the “Weight conversion chart”
later in this section for help in converting
food weight to decimals.
3. Touch
NOTES:
If you do not enter a weight within two
seconds, DEFROST will prompt
you to choose a weight. You then have
one minute to enter a weight and touch
START/ENTER. If you do not touch any
pad within one minute, DEFROST will be
canceled.
If you touch START/ENTER without enter-
ing a weight, three tones will sound, and
the display shows “Err” for one
second, followed by a prompt asking you
if you want to defrost 0.1 lb. Touch
START/ENTER or change the weight and
touch START/ENTER. If you do not touch
any pad within one minute, DEFROST will
be canceled.
If you touch DEFROST 4 times, the
display goes back to the Beef setting.
This chart shows you which foods you can defrost and how to program your oven to
defrost them. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.
